Thursday Night Treadmill
I had to be in our office in the Galleria until about 8 p.m. (to take an Introduction to SQL course); however, I still made it home to change clothes and then make it to Bally's before 9 p.m.
I logged 55 minutes on the treadmill. Started at my normal 4.3 mph, took it up .1 mph each ten (10) minutes, and when I got to the 51st minute (sounds like a soccer match), I cranked it to 5.7 mph and started to back down .1 mph every minute.
Uh ... I got through 5.7, 5.6, 5.5 and 5.4 before I ended the last minute at 4.3 mph and called it a night - before I got to an hour. So 55 minutes is in the books for the evening. (Those four minutes felt faster than a 2-minute 400 that I've run.)
I almost threw in the towel at about the 37- or 38-minute mark because I think my food intake was good, but a little low for the day; however, I pushed through and tried to focus on going as long as I could. (It didn't hurt that this month was the Health & Fitness magazine Swimsuit issue. But I was moving my arms so fast that I couldn't turn the pages so I just kept focus on the cover until I finished.)
Plus I knew Bill was at the Twin Creeks Middle School track as he called and left a voice mail message, but he must have been through already because he wasn't breathing that hard. (Just making sure I'm ready to go for San Antonio.)
Sorry Katy, no more interesting tidbits from evesdropping at the gym. (But I really wasn't. They weren't hiding it and while it wasn't real loud, neither looked my way ... so I kept on watching the good show.)
A side benefit of the day was that I pulled out an old polo shirt that I've had in the dresser for a very long time. Maybe even close to ten years. I don't know. It still had the tag on it! It was one of those fashion labels from awhile back and while it was a XXL, it was cut more like a L or an XL. I've tried it on from time to time, but it snuggled my body like a wetsuit. Today, I put it on and it fit well. I was pleased.
When I've added weight lately, it has seemed to be in the upper body. As I've been trying to work a little bit harder here the last four weeks, it seems to be coming back off from there I guess. Motivation to keep up the pressure.
More tomorrow on why I did Oklahoma City and am doing another marathon now in May.

The way I see it is, if you say it out loud in public it's fair game. I learned all sorts of stuff while getting my hair done yesterday. :)
Just for the record, I feel the need to clarify this - I don't dislike the country music genre entirely. I just can't handle the 'she thinks my tractor's sexy, I wanna check you for ticks, international harvester, honky tonk badonkadonk' varieties. Those all remind me of the lady on the 10 o'clock news with no teeth and her hair in curlers, describing how the tornado scooped up her mobile home and bubba, her 3 legged dog. Some of it's super great though!
Chesney, Paisley, Morgan and Adkins.
I get tired of Chesney. All of his songs sound the same.
Paisley. I like Brad. Cassie doesn't like that song either even though he is a native West Virginian like Ms. Tiggs.
Awww, how can you not like that song from Craig Morgan? Wait, you're one of the ones sitting behind the pa-pa-pa-plower.
I can see the honky tonk badonkadonk song (and you even spelled it right ... darn you're good), but it is as mindless - and suggestive - as any other genre.
If all else fails, just go with George.
